Description
- The present invention relates to a sealing device for connection of a pipe in a hole.
- In the art there are frequent cases in which a pipe must pass through a baffle which divides two areas. An example of such a case is shown in DE 3,803,492.
- Often, the connection between the pipe, and a hole which is provided in the baffle, is rigid, and for example is produced by means of welding.
- Sometimes, on the other hand, the connection between the pipe and the hole is free, with play.
- This situation can be required for various reasons, for example in order to permit differential movements between the pipe and the baffle, or for reasons of thermal expansion to which the pipe is subjected.
- In particular, in gas turbines, there exist pipes for internal cooling circuits, which connect an outer case of the turbine to an inner nozzle-holder ring, by passing through a divider baffle, which is also known as the nozzle sector.
- In these cases, it is necessary to provide sealing devices in order to prevent passage of air in the space between the pipe and the hole.
- In the known art, in the field of gas turbines, pipes are used which are provided with washers which are welded onto the outside of the pipes.
- The washer is thrust against a surface, which for example is precision cast, of the divider baffle, by a spring which ensures that an area above the baffle is sealed relative to an area on the opposite side of the baffle.
- However, the level of sealing obtained is not optimal, since it is difficult to obtain perfect contact between the washer and the surface of the baffle, owing both to geometric processing tolerances and to differentiated movements which exist between the outer case to which the pipe is coupled, and the divider baffle, which is secured to the inner nozzle-holder ring.
- The present invention thus seeks to eliminate the disadvantage previously described, and in particular to provide a sealing device for connection of a pipe in a hole, which guarantees a high level of sealing, even in the presence of geometric differences of concentricity between the pipe and the hole.
- Further, the invention seeks to provide a sealing device for connection of a pipe in a hole, which is particularly reliable, simple and functional, and has relatively low costs.
- These objects and others according to the present invention are achieved by providing a sealing device for connection of a pipe in a hole, as described in claim 1.
- Further characteristics are described in the subsequent claims.
- Advantageously, the sealing device for connection of a pipe in a hole is used for a cooling pipe in a gas turbine, thus permitting a large saving in cooling air, but also in particular preventing blow-by which is undesirable and is difficult to assess.
- The invention will now be described in greater detail, by way of example, with reference to the drawings, in which:-
- Figure 1 is a view in lateral elevation, partially in cross-section, of a sealing device according to the known art, for connection of a cooling pipe in a hole in a divider baffle in a gas turbine;
- Figure 2 shows an enlarged view in lateral elevation of the sealing device in figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a view in lateral elevation, partially in cross-section, of a sealing device according to the present invention, for connection of a cooling pipe in a hole in a divider baffle in a gas turbine; and
- Figure 4 shows an enlarged view in lateral elevation of the sealing device in figure 3.
- Figures 1 and 2 show a sealing device which is according to the known art, and is indicated as 10 as a whole, for connection of a
cooling pipe 12 in ahole 14 in adivider baffle 16 in a gas turbine. - In the example illustrated, the
device 10 comprises awasher 18 with an annular shape, with two flat bases and with a central hole with a diameter which is the same as the outer diameter of thepipe 12. - The
washer 18 is threaded onto the outside of thepipe 12, and is joined to the latter, for example by being welded. - The
washer 18 of thepipe 12 is thrust towards a flat surface of thebaffle 16 in which thehole 14 is provided, by pressure means 20 such as a spring. - The
spring 20 can be fitted on one end of thepipe 12 which faces thehole 14 in thebaffle 16, and pre-loaded against a wall. - The functioning of the
sealing device 10 according to the invention is clear from the foregoing description provided with reference to figure 1, i.e. it is implemented by means of the thrust action of the pressure means 20 which brings part of a base of thewasher 18 into contact with the flat surface of thebaffle 16 which is disposed around thehole 14. - Figure 2 shows a situation of imperfect sealing, with consequent passage of air between the
pipe 12 and thehole 14, caused for example by imperfect coplanarity between thewasher 18 and the flat surface around thehole 14. - Another cause of imperfect sealing can be inaccurate squareness between the axis of the
washer 18 and the flat surface of thehole 14. - On the other hand, figures 3 and 4 illustrate a
sealing device 110 according to the present invention, in which components which are the same as and/or equivalent to those illustrated in figures 1 and 2 have the same reference numbers increased by 100. - The
sealing device 110 is used in the connection of acooling pipe 112 in ahole 114 in adivider baffle 116 in a gas turbine. - In the example illustrated, the
device 110 comprises aspherical washer 118 with an annular shape, with a central hole with a diameter which is the same as the outer diameter of thepipe 112. - The
washer 118 has aflat base 117, and a base which is shaped according to an annular portion ofspherical surface 119, with convexity towards the exterior of thewasher 118 itself. In practice, this shape can be obtained by extending a base of a washer of a knowntype 18 which does not yet have a central hole, such as to obtain a spherical cap: at this point the central hole will be provided. - The
spherical washer 118 is threaded onto the outside of thepipe 112, with theflat base 117 disposed on the side opposite thehole 114. Thewasher 118 is joined to thepipe 112, for example by being welded, using theflat base 117. - On a flat surface of the
baffle 116, which is disposed around thehole 114, there is provided aconical washer 122 with an annular shape, with a central hole which has a diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of thepipe 112, such that thepipe 112 can be inserted into it. - The
washer 122 has a flat base and a base which is shaped according to a frusto-conical surface 123, with the smaller base disposed on the flat base side. - The flat base of the
conical washer 122 is supported on the flat surface which surrounds thehole 114, such as to make the axis of thewasher 122 parallel with that of thehole 114. - The
spherical washer 118 of thepipe 112 is thrust towards theconical washer 122, which is applied to thebaffle 116, by pressure means 120, such as a spring. - The
spring 120 can be fitted on one end of thepipe 112 which faces thehole 114 in thebaffle 116, thus pre-loading the spring against one wall. - The functioning of the
sealing device 110 according to the invention is clear from the foregoing description provided with reference to figures 3 and 4, and briefly is as follows. - The thrust action of the pressure means 120 brings the annular portion of
spherical surface 119 of thespherical washer 118 into contact with the frusto-conical surface 123 of theconical washer 122. More particularly, as known from the geometry, the contact takes place around a circumference. - This therefore prevents the problems of imperfect sealing caused by imprecise concentricity between the axis of the
washer 118 and the axis of thehole 114. - Thus, even in the presence of axial movements between the
pipe 112, which for example is secured to an outer case of the gas turbine, and thedivider baffle 116, or in the presence of rotations of thepipe 112, the sealing is guaranteed. - In addition, the
spherical washer 118, which is thrust by thespring 120, tends to centre itself in theconical washer 122, thus also centring thepipe 112. - It should be noted that the figures represent pipes with a circular cross-section, and it is apparent that it would not alter anything in the sealing device according to the invention if pipes with a different cross-section were used.
- It is also apparent that the figures illustrate pipes which pass through the divider baffle, but it is clear that it would not alter anything in the sealing device according to the invention if use were made of pipes which do not pass through the divider baffle, but simply extend as far as the start of the hole in the divider baffle itself.
- The description provided makes apparent the characteristics of the sealing device according to the present invention, for connection of a pipe in a hole, and also makes apparent the corresponding advantages, which, it will be remembered, include:
- optimal sealing with consequent saving of cooling air;
- elimination of blow-by of air, which is undesirable and is difficult to assess;
- simple and reliable use; and
- low costs, compared with the known art.
